BREAKING NEWS about Bet Aviv Movie Day

Sunday, April 7, 3 PM, OMI

We have a NEW movie selection that you won’t want to miss. It’s about a Jewish major league baseball player who was a great catcher and an even greater spy and patriot.

If you’ve heard of Mo Berg and you think you’ve seen the movie, we will offer a money-back guarantee that you haven’t. Why? Because unlike the movie done a few years back, this film, “The Spy Behind Home Plate,” is a wonderful documentary by Aviva Kempner. It’s the straight scoop about Mo Berg – – a Renaissance Man in his time – – with no artificial “Hollywood” flavors needed.

The movie’s editor, Barbara Ballow, has agreed to attend and lead a discussion and answer questions following the movie.

The New York Times reviewer called it “Play Ball, Fight Nazis.” Over ¾ of Rotten Tomatoes critics and 85% of the audience gave this move thumbs up (a fresh tomato and a tub of popcorn in Rotten Tomatoes symbolism). By the way, free popcorn will be served and the $10 per person tickets can be purchased at the door.

Per the New York Times, “Kempner’s passion for her remarkable subject is always evident. If she wants you to know a lot about Moe Berg, that’s because there’s a lot worth knowing.”
